There’s more to a government than the president. Congress votes on funding like this.

About that

It could happen. In China, among many other places, same-sex hand holding isn’t uncommon among friends and doesn’t indicate a romantic attachment. I dont imagine Biden and Xi have that kind of relationship, though.

There are many ways to setups full disk encryption on Linux, but the most common all involve LUKS. Providing a password at mount (during boot, for a root partition or perhaps later for a “data” volume) is a but more secure and more frequently done, but you can also use things like smart cards (like a Yubikey) or a keyfile (basically a file as the password rather than typed in) to decrypt.

So, to actually answer your question, if you dont want to type passwords and are okay with the security implementations of storing the key with/near the system, putting a keyfile on removable storage that normally stays plugged in but can be removed to secure your disks is a common compromise. Here’s an approachable article about it.

That doesn’t look like contradictory information to me.

OP isn’t trying to install into the downloads folder; they’re trying to grant an app access to the downloads folder to read and write data.

That tends to be how things develop when you’re talking about systems. There’s not a cackling Bad Guy engineering these things, but a system of socioeconomic carrots and sticks that, right now, favor exploitation. Schools and education happen within that incentive structure so its natural that they would take on it’s characteristics.

I made that move and had no issues. You can copy/paste your way through DNS setup and the rest is just configuring your proton account how you want.

You’ll want to be familiar with proton and some of the tradeoffs in its privacy model, but it’s most likely more feature-full than a hosting provider. Dreamhost, for one, is quite basic.

Most self-hosters are probably using dns services through their registrar, but you don’t have to. A registrar with poor api support might still be a good choice, if that was the only negative.

Significant Figures: am I a joke to you?

Well, I’m back and can confirm the sneaky DNS resolver. I have two roku devices and they both were making requests to 8.8.8.8.

Thanks for this post! TIL.

Interesting. I set an adblocking dns via DHCP and, as far as I know, the Roku respects it. Ads are blocked and I can see it failing to delivery telemetry in my dns logs (most persistent thing on the network).

I set a rule to catch outside dns to see if anything, the roku included, has been misbehaving.
